Mechanical processing refers to the process of using mechanical equipment to cut, shape, and polish materials such as metal, plastic, and wood, in order to manufacture components or products. Mechanical processing usually includes the following basic processes:
1. Milling: Milling is a method of machining using a milling machine, which cuts the workpiece by rotating the cutting tool and can process complex shapes such as flat, curved, concave and convex surfaces.
2. Turning: Turning is a method of machining using a lathe. By rotating the workpiece and cutting the tool on the workpiece, it can process outer circles, inner circles, end faces, etc.
3. Drilling: Drilling is a method of machining using a drilling machine or drilling machine, which involves drilling holes in a workpiece by rotating a cutting tool.
4. Grinding: Grinding is a method of machining using a grinding machine. By grinding the workpiece with a grinding wheel, high precision and good surface quality can be obtained.
5. Milling machines, lathes, drilling machines, grinders, etc. are common mechanical processing equipment, as well as other special processing equipment such as wire cutting machines, electric discharge machining machines, laser cutting machines, etc.
The process flow of mechanical machining usually includes workpiece design, process planning, process clamping, tool selection, machining operation, quality inspection and other links. In the process of mechanical processing, it is necessary to select appropriate processing methods and process parameters based on the material, size, shape, and accuracy requirements of the workpiece to ensure the production of components or products that meet the requirements.
With the development of numerical control technology, more and more mechanical machining processes have achieved automation and precision, improving machining efficiency and product quality. At the same time, mechanical processing is constantly innovating and improving, applied in various industrial fields, and has become an indispensable part of modern manufacturing.
